Pineapple & Cherry Boiled Fruit Cake
Ingredients
- 100g Sunbeam Glace Cherries
- 375g Sunbeam Mixed Fruit
- 250g butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 450g crushed pineapple in syrup
- 2 tsp grated lemon rind
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 ½ cups self-raising flour
Method
| 1. | Preheat oven to 180°C |
| 2. | Grease and line a 22cm round cake tin with baking paper. |
| 3. | In a medium sized saucepan place butter and sugar. Over medium heat stir until sugar dissolves. Add pineapple, lemon rind and mixed fruit and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow to cool and mix in beaten eggs, bi-carb soda, coconut and cherries. Mixture will bubble up and become frothy. |
| 4. | Sift flours and fold into pineapple mixture. |
| 5. | Pour mixture into cake tin and bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow cake to rest for 5 minutes in the tin and turn out onto a wire rack to cool. |
